What did Clement say about transfers?
Clement told BBC Sport that Norwich City will not sell any of their starting XI players unless a 'crazy' bid is received. He said, 'For all the players, there is a really clear plan. Nobody will leave who is a potential starting XI player.' The manager also revealed that no bids have been made for any Norwich players this summer, emphasizing the club's unity.
Why is this important for Norwich City?
The Canaries finished 9th last season with 65 points, scoring 63 goals and conceding 56.

What comes next for Norwich City?
Clement has already made one significant signing this summer, bringing in Andre Brooks. The Canaries are now focused on adding more quality to their squad before the transfer deadline. With no key departures expected, Norwich City fans can look forward to a strong campaign in the Championship.
